    Issues after a starter repair

    Had my starter replaced awhile ago and since then there are a couple of "electrical" issues

    I'm not a gear head by any stretch so please pardon my explanations.

    Normally when you start the car, drive somewhere, turn it off, remove the key, you're golden, well my x3 when I remove the key will beep non-stop until I open the door and then close it.

    Usually the beep is there to remind you the door is open and the key is in the ignition, mine doesn't care it just beeps continually until you exit the vehicle and shut the door.

    2nd issue, I was unable to reprogram the keyless entry for the longest time, I gave it another shot the other day and although I was able to program two keys, it's hit or miss on if they even work correctly. It seems if I wake up in the morning, walk to my car the keyless will unlock / lock the door, but as soon as I start it, drive somewhere and exit, i can only unlock or lock the vehicle with the manual key, it's like i need to get well out of radio range and back or something?

    If any of these issues sound familiar please let me know. Thank you.

    Beeping, ignition switch, the electrical part. But first check fuses we had an e39 that would do the beeping and it turned out it was a fuse problem I can't remember which one.
